Check This Car for the following recall:
The front airbags and/or the pyrotechnic seat-belt tensioner units can loosen unintentionally. The airbag control device was manufactured using application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), which are susceptible to internal short circuits. If the control device is subjected to strong inductive electrical noise – caused by other electrical components in the vehicle - this can result in an internal short circuit. Abnormal current flow can arise in the airbag control device, causing the interior temperature to increase, potentially damaging the ASIC.
Model Numbers:
The vehicles in question were manufactured between 28 December 2001 and 3 May 2004.

Check This Car for the following recall:
The front seat belts, with their retractors, are mounted in the rear doors. Owing to the inadequate strength of the metal used for the rear doors, repeatedly closing of the doors, forcefully over a long period, may result in cracks. This could cause the seat belt retractors to become loose and, as a result, it is no longer certain that persons in the front seats will be secured in the event of an accident.

The product poses a risk of injuries due to a potential problem with a Rear Suspension Arm. In affected vehicles, if nuts for adjusting the rear wheel alignment are improperly tightened, backlash may develop at the thread portion of the arm (shaft and turn-buckle), followed by formation of rust. If this occurs, threads may wear, causing the arm to separate, which could result in loss of vehicle control.
